Janet Devlin - Cinema Screen (Live @ A&B2 Studio)

This is a stripped back version of Cinema Screen, one of my most favourite tracks from Confessional. Jim and I worked up a more emotive version which I think draws more pain out of the lyrics as the album version is quite “bombastic”!! Big thanks to everyone who worked on this in the studio while we all maintained social distancing and mask wearing aha!! I hope you enjoy it - please like, share and subscribe if you do!

CINEMA SCREEN
I've been laying wide awake
Watching every last mistake I've ever made
On a cinema screen in the back of my forehead
I've been praying for a change
Hoping I could press play on a different day
But we are the scene I can never stop watching

And I've been trying to get everything you said out of my head
I've been trying to move but all I want to do is forget
And I’m dying to turn it off
I’ve been trying with all that I’ve got

And I know you're no good for me
And I know, I know I should be moving on
Moving on, from this Hollywood dream
On my cinema screen

I believed in all your lies
I've been crying through the night, you never loved me
So why can I still taste you between my teeth?
I can feel you on my bones
And this pain just feels like home
Lights, camera action - I'm lying again

And I've been trying to get everything you said out of my head
I've been trying to move but all I want to do is forget
and I’m dying to turn it off
I’ve been trying with all that I’ve got

And I know you're no good for me
And I know, I know I should be moving on,
Moving on, from this Hollywood dream
Before you ruin me

And although, although it kills me
I should go, but it's not so easy moving on
Moving on, from this Hollywood dream

And I've been shrinking again, over-thinking again
Pushing me round the bend again
Tip-toeing over the edge, trying my best to pretend
That I am not losing myself

And I know you're no good for me
And I know, I know I should be moving on,
Moving on, from this Hollywood dream
Before you ruin me

And although, although it kills me
I should go, but it's not so easy moving on
Moving on, from this Hollywood dream
On my cinema screen
